Interesting company, poor middle management!

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Dynamic activities and projects, interesting clients, nice office locations. Colleagues come from all walks of life and can be interesting to work with. Pretty flat organizational hierarchy, although it can be opaque sometimes. Co-located with joint venture partners that are actually friendly people!

Cons

Middle management has become way too sales-oriented, and expect employees to be sales robots. Office environment is very sterile (aka not friendly and warm). A lot of drama that is always caused by a few female employees makes the whole office environment very sour. Very quiet and not a friendly place to work. Annual bonus’ canceled year on year due to financial mismanagement. Little to no recognition for employees’ efforts.

Pros

Work-life balance is good, managers are easily approachable and respect your work

Cons

Learning is negligible, for a company that does consulting work, the quality of employees hired, in terms of their industry knowledge and exposure, is poor

Overall great company!

Business Outlook

Pros

1. A small but powerful company. 2. You can work really close with executives and senior managers that help you get decisions really quick so you can deliver your work much more efficiently. 2. The online solutions team are the best! They really know the product and always put the customer at the heat of it. We all now a days talk about buzz words such as 'Service Design' and 'Agile' but they really do it without even knowing it. They work directly with the customer and their feedback is extremely valuable.

Cons

1. Project Management was just concerned about telling people what and how to do it, without solid justification. 2. Upper management would tend to say "Be more like him, or be more like her" when 'him' & 'her' were the flavor of the month. 3. They have really good off-shore development teams but it would be ideal if they were in house. Understand about cost saving but quality, communication and speed to production would benefit dearly.
